1985 Gulfstar 45 Hirsch Sold Boat in Saint Simons Island, GA US
Built in 1985
45 Hirsch
--
45 feet
--
Fiberglass/Reinforced
Best of both worlds--performance and comfort. Lazarra-designed and Gulfstar built, quality was NOT sacrificed on the Hirsch 45.
Repowered with NEW Yanmar in 2012, with under 1000 hours, cold air conditioning, new refrigeration, all new thru-hulls above and below waterline, new water heater, and centerline queen bed in the aft cabin!
The Gulfstar factory designed and built these boats specifically to be both capable sailors and comfortable cruisers in the 1980's. The hull is solid, the keel is an integral (encapsulated) fin, the living area is exceptionally comfortable, and she performs like a champ.
Bohemian II was cruised to the Bahamas this past winter and all her systems are GO! She has air conditioning, a centerline queen berth in the aft cabin, new refrigeration, and she's just SO comfortable and pretty. She's already set up with netting if you're planning on cruising with kids...or pets.
Recent survey available! Call or email broker for a copy. Priced very competitively -- she will NOT last.
